Startup Lawyers for Entrepreneurs and Founders

We are a small group of startup lawyers formerly from national law firms. The principal of the law firm, Chris Harvey, has several years of experience representing startups and emerging growth companies. Clients retain us to represent their fundraising goals and exits, including Seed Round, Series A, and Series B. We walk clients through the process of fundraising strategies such as Safes, convertible notes, cap tables and founder equity splits. We help those same companies exit successfully through mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

-BRIAN MAC MAHON,Founder and Expert Coach

"Harvey Esquire are the reason Expert DOJO exist. Their advice when we started out was all based on our future success rather than just getting us as clients. The high level of trust we have with them does not exist with most other law firms. Harvey and his team have our highest recommendation for all our clients for that reason."

-CHRIS LYNCH,Cofounder, Everyday California

"Harvey has what it takes to represent a business without over-lawyering it. He's been representing ours for several years. Without hesitation, I refer my friends and colleagues to this law firm."

"We were in a pinch for money owed, Harvey made sure we received what we were entitled in record time. He was professional, diligent, and cost effective. Would highly recommend Harvey and his team!"

-FLAVIA SPARACINO,Founder of Sensing Places, MIT Ph.D.

"For a couple of years now, my media lab/development company has been represented by Chris Harvey. He's been instrumental in helping us not only close big deals but handle difficult situations."
